Visit a Medical cannabis provider

Upon completion of your patient registration with MMCC, your next step is to get certified by a medical cannabis provider/physician.

Make an appointment with a Maryland Medical cannabis physician licensed to conduct a medical exam to determine if you have a qualifying condition. Your medical cannabis provider will discuss a general treatment plan with you, including the use of medical cannabis to alleviate the symptoms of your qualifying condition.

The physician will certify you with the state thereby completing the steps necessary for you to purchase cannabis at licensed dispensaries.

For more specific treatment plans detailing which cannabis products best suit your medical needs you can rely on the highly experienced Patient Advocates at Your Farmacy to tailor the right cannabis program for you.
